My 3" Colt Python

[boa2]

The 3" Colt Python pictured below, has been Lettered by Colt to be genuine and is not a fake. Although I do have the original gun box and papers, I did not include these in the photos. You'll have to overlook the fact that my photo's aren't the greatest and, since my Python's finish was left coated with BREAKFREE CLP-this is why the finish doesn't appear as glossy as it should:

So? 3", did someone say they didn't exist or something?

 

[Jim Watson]

Just darned scarce. Better balanced visually and in the hand than the standard 2.5", though.

 

[Sharpsdressed Man]

Ain't that irony? They build a better balanced gun (than the 2.5") that has a longer ejection rod, a gun that more people would buy, then they quickly quit making it. Now they are so rare and valuable, no one would carry one if they owned it. Isn't that about as stupid as it gets?

I've seen a couple of Detective Specials with 3" barrels, too.

 

[TheEgg]

Just Outstanding!

You are a lucky man.

hi , a really great looking sixgum satana

 

[lomaxanderson]

Wow that is a big hammer spur...or is it just the pictures?

Nice colt...mine is a shooter...defender that is...

 

[KRP]

Can I borrow it?

Hammer Spur

lomaxanderson:

The hammer spur is the factory original for a Python!

 

[KyJim]

Wow! They really do exist.

And that is why I perfer my 3 inch 686 CS-1 .357. It also handles better than the 2 1/2 686.

Mighy fine Python. I wonder, did they even make ANY 3 inch stainless Pythons?

 

[B.N.Real]

Your guns probably worth four grand.

Nice Python.

Wow. Thanks for sharing, that would be my perfect Python. I need a pin up

 

[S&W-Keeper]

Fantastic Python, can I have it.

Pythons are nice. Probably the nicest revolver that Colt
made. I'd still take an S&W over it but that's PREFERENCE.

$4000?! Really?! I don't have any guns to sell right now (horrible
boating accident, don't ask) but I do have a bridge in Brooklyn that I can mail you the title for, once your check clears the bank.

Colt Pythons are cool. Very Hollywood. Well made. Nothing negative, really.
All this from a big Smith&Wesson fan. However, the pedistals and prices that some people put them on/on them seem a bit high for a
production gun. Yes, I've shot them and are nice. They aren't that super rare and ultra special though. Shoot them and enjoy them. That is what they were made for anyway.

 

[skeeter]

Only problem with that gun is that it is too nice and too rare to shoot.

Shoot it. Shoot it. Shoot it. Shoot it. Shoot it. Shoot it.
Reload it.
Shoot it. Shoot it. Shoot it. Shoot it.Shoot it. Shoot it.
Reload it.
Shoot it. Shoot it. Shoot it. Shoot it. Shoot it. Shoot it.
Reload it.
Shoot it. Shoot it. Shoot it. Shoot it. Shoot it. Shoot it.
Take it home. Clean it.
Reload it.

Repeat it.

It's a Python not a Picasso. (Insert pistol is better looking than painting joke here.) Your stock production Python is a beautiful range gun not a retirement plan. Enjoy it. There's even rumors on the internet that some nutcases CARRY them, scratch them and trust them for more than keeping the pistol safes from being hungry. CRAZY! Right?
